As I speculated at least a week before the MSM began to talk about it, the Knicks turned a corner in which losing games is far more important than winning games. Tightly coupled to this state of affairs is the fate of Stoudemire and Prigioni, veteran warriors who no longer have a reason to play their hearts out.
After the London loss, nothing could be clearer than the fact that Stoudemire no longer has a compelling reason to endanger whatever he's got left in the tank (no pun intended) in meaningless games that can't and shouldn't be won. In fact, taking minutes away from the youngsters would be the harm.
The Knicks won't push Amare out if he decides to stay but the organization is classy enough to let him go. That will probably happen soon. Nothing precludes Stat from returning as a free agent signing for next year and his years of service with class and integrity ensures that the door will always be open in NY should he decide to join the organization in other capacilties.
The first Knicks lottery will be his as we wish him well in picking the playoff team he can join to get himself a ring.

Necessities
Ye Newe Glory-torium
Here, dear readers, is the final resting place of all weary Knicks fans. Yes, here is where one comes when the Triangle refuses to have three sides, when biting one's lip from losing to win later is one loss too far,or when said fan simply hits 'rock' bottom. In short, "the ship be" eternally "sinking" here. Welcome aboard, rearrange the deck chairs as you please.
